"Well, is it already dawn?"
Yang Ying, who had just regained consciousness, looked at the clear sky above his head. He was still a little confused and immediately woke up. He quickly got up from the ground, and then he was shocked to find that he was actually on a wild grassland. .
Just when Yang Ying was confused because she suddenly appeared in the wilderness from home, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated, and then the ethereal and illusory voice sounded again.
"Reserve players have entered the trial mission world, and basic information is being imported."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Yang Ying could ask, he felt a stabbing pain in his head, and a stream of information poured into his mind.
When the stinging pain in her head disappeared, Yang Ying pressed her temples and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on her face.
Infinite Games, I didn’t expect that I would encounter such a thing.
Through the information that just poured into her mind, Yang Ying has roughly understood the details of this so-called infinite game. In short, it is to select players and send them to various fantasy or magical worlds to perform various tasks.
Of course, the details of this infinite game are far from simple, but that's all Yang Ying knows now.
Yang Ying shook his head and sighed. There was no other way. At this point, he could only take one step at a time.
Recalling the information that just poured into her mind, Yang Ying held the phone in front of her.
He didn't press the switch, but just moved his mind slightly, and the phone screen automatically lit up, and the familiar iron-gray infinity symbol appeared.
"Enable portable mode and display this mission."
As soon as Yang Ying finished speaking, his cell phone disappeared, leaving only an iron-gray infinity symbol in his palm.
Immediately afterwards, the iron-gray infinity symbol shimmered and projected a translucent light curtain, and there were several lines of words on the light curtain.
[Mission Name: The Twelve Meritorious Works of Hercules Part Two—Hunting the Hydra]
[Task Type: Myth Trial]
[Task requirement: Accompany Hercules and assist him in killing Hydra, the Hydra that lives in the Lorna Swamp]
[Task reward: unknown]
After reading the mission, Yang Ying couldn't help but feel a bit toothache.
Hydra, although its combat power is not very strong in Greek mythology, its terrifying poison is enough to kill gods. Even Hercules’ teacher, who is immortal? The centaur sage Chiron couldn't bear it, which shows the terror of Hydera.
But fortunately, this mission does not require him to deal with Hydra, and he still has the thick legs of Hercules to hug, otherwise he might as well dig a hole and bury himself as soon as possible.
As for escaping from performing the task, Yang Ying had thought about it, but the information that had flooded into her mind before had clearly stated that passive treatment of the task would deduct the task reward, and in severe cases, even deduct lifespan, while refusing to perform the task would directly obliterate.
If he tried his best and held Hercules' thigh to fight against the Hydra, he might still have a chance to survive, but if he refused to perform the task, he would be wiped out.
Now that he has decided to carry out this trial mission, a new question arises, where should he find his thigh, Hercules.
While thinking about it, Yang Ying began to turn his head and scan around, and then he saw a strange carriage pulled by two horses parked beside a small forest not far from where he was.
The surroundings were deserted, so since there was a carriage, Yang Ying naturally wanted to go and take a look.
And when he got close to the carriage, he found that the carriage should be shaped like an ancient horse-drawn chariot. There were even weapons on the carriage, and the two horses pulling the carriage were also tall, strong, and had shiny fur. Even a layman like Yang Ying It can also be seen that it has been carefully raised.
After seeing Yang Ying, the two war horses just glanced at him and continued to eat grass with their heads down, as if they didn't care about the approach of this stranger.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Ying wanted to grab a weapon from the chariot to defend herself.
However, after approaching the chariot, Yang Ying suddenly heard a low roar that seemed to be very painful coming from the small woods next to her. Along with the low roar, there was a crisp sound like a slap.
Is it the carriage owner who is fighting the enemy?
With this in mind, Yang Ying took a bronze sword about fifty centimeters long from the chariot, then carefully entered the woods and quietly touched it in the direction of the sound.
But as Yang Ying gradually got closer to the source of the sound, his originally solemn and serious expression gradually became weird.
He couldn't hear it very clearly outside the woods before, but now after entering the woods, the so-called painful growls and slaps became more and more clear, which also gave Yang Ying some unpleasant feelings of déjà vu.
This movement was melodious, and it was so similar to the romantic action movie specializing in an island country that he had seen on his classmate's mobile phone before.
But this isn't right. Although the "painful growl" has some changes in tone, it's clear that it's a man. Could it be...
Yang Ying swallowed her saliva, vaguely having some not-so-good philosophical associations in her heart.
After carefully pushing aside a blocking bush, the source of the sound also appeared in front of Yang Ying.
In a clearing in the forest ahead, a man with a height of more than two meters and a deep bronze skin, as strong as an iron tower, was pressing a white figure on a boulder.
After seeing the two figures clearly, Yang Ying's philosophical association was verified.
As a young man with normal orientation, Yang Ying turned her head subconsciously at the shocking scene in front of her and cursed in a low voice.
However, this curse alarmed the two people who were moving on the stone.
"Who's there?"
The strong man like an iron tower suddenly raised his head and roared, and the terrifying volume even stirred up sound waves that were like real ones in the air, sweeping directly towards Yang Ying.
Being hit by the sound wave, Yang Ying felt as if a thunder was exploding in her ears. Her eyes went black and she fell to the ground.
When Yang Ying regained consciousness, she found that the strong man like an iron tower and the handsome man playing games with him had already put on their clothes and stood in front of him.
Feeling that her head was still a little dizzy, Yang Ying couldn't help but wailed in her heart, wondering what kind of monster she had encountered.
Seeing Yang Ying wake up, the strong man from the iron tower asked, "Who are you? Why are you spying on us?"
The strong man in the iron tower obviously had a Western face, and the language he spoke was not Chinese, but under the influence of the infinite game, Yang Ying still clearly understood what the other party wanted to express.
However, Yang Ying's head was still buzzing at this time, and it was difficult to even think about how to answer the other party's questions.
Seeing that Yang Ying didn't answer for a long time, the strong man from the Iron Tower snorted coldly and raised his hand to pick up an olive wood stick beside him.
The stick was more than two meters long, a bit thicker than Yang Ying's thigh, but in the hands of the strong man from the iron tower, it seemed as light as a chopstick.
The strong man in the iron tower raised his hand and swung his stick violently, and a tree behind Yang Ying with a trunk thicker than his waist was swept down.
boom!
The broken tree fell to the ground with a crash, Yang Ying's mouth opened slightly, and her eyes widened.
Seeing the strong man from the iron tower carrying a stick looking at her, Yang Ying's head, which was still a little dizzy, immediately woke up and began to work at high speed.
He is tall and strong, with great strength. He has an olive wood club and a lion skin cloak.
These characteristics made Yang Ying immediately confirm that the strong man in the iron tower in front of him was the mission leader Hercules he was looking for.
For the sake of her own life, Yang Ying immediately opened her mouth and shouted, "You are the famous hero Hercules!"
Hercules, who was about to teach the voyeur in front of him a lesson, couldn't help but pause slightly when he heard this.
As the saying goes, "Thousands of people wear it, but flattery never wears it." Even as a demigod, Hercules would inevitably feel happy when he was praised as a 'famous hero' in front of his face, so he looked at the scene in front of him. The voyeur also felt much more pleasing to the eye.
Sensing that Hercules' attitude had eased, Yang Ying also calmed down a little. At the same time, his brain was still running at high speed, thinking about how to gain the trust of the other party and hunt down the Hydra with the other party.
At this moment, the strong man from the Iron Tower had put down the olive wood stick in his hand and said in a slightly gentle tone, "Yes, I am Hercules."
While saying this, Hercules also stretched out his hand, apparently wanting to pull Yang Ying away.
Yang Ying was slightly happy when she saw this, but her face showed a look of fear and joy, and she reached out and held Hercules' hand.
With a gentle pull from Hercules, Yang Ying was pulled up like a little chicken.
Letting go of Hercules' hand, Yang Ying said excitedly, "Oh, it's such an honor for me to meet the legendary and famous hero Hercules. Oh, yes, I was so excited that I forgot about it. Introduced myself.
I am a traveler from the East. You can call me Yang Ying, or just call me Yang. "
Hercules looked Yang Ying up and down, then nodded slightly and said, "Well, the appearance and clothes really don't look like people living in this land."
As soon as Hercules finished speaking, the handsome blond man behind him took a step forward and reached out to Yang Ying.
"Hello Yang from the Eastern Kingdom, I am Iolaus, nephew of the great hero Hercules."
Seeing this, Yang Ying quickly stretched out her hand to shake Iolaos's hand, and said very enthusiastically, "The great hero's nephew, I have admired you for a long time, I am very happy to meet you."
Although he said so, Yang Ying really had no impression of Iolaos.
However, he vaguely remembered that when Hercules killed the Hydra in Greek mythology, someone was there to help burn the Hydra's wound to prevent its head from regenerating.
If they were going to hunt Hydra this time, then Iolaos in front of them should be the one who helped Hercules kill Hydra.
Being able to face a monster like Hydra directly, it seems that the pretty-looking Iolaos in front of him is definitely not a simple character.
After the identities were announced, the relationship between the two parties eased a lot.
Yang Ying followed the two Hercules to where they parked the carriage.
On the way, Hercules also asked him how a traveler could appear here. You must know that not far ahead is the Rhona Swamp where Hydra lives, which is a place of death for ordinary people like Yang Ying. Land.
Yang Ying pretended to sigh, and then threw out the words she had prepared.
In short, when he was resting, he accidentally opened a special artifact that contained mysterious power. It was a fine metal block the size of a palm. Then he felt his eyes go dark and was teleported here.
In fact, although Yang Ying's words were a bit vague, she was not lying.
The exquisite palm-sized metal block is the mobile phone. The shape of this thing is definitely exquisite in the context of ancient Greece.
It is the Infinite Game that contains mysterious power. It can transport him, a living person, from the original world to this world of Greek mythology. Even the gods of this world may not be able to do it. Isn't the Infinite Game with such power not mysterious? .
Regarding Yang Ying's remarks, the two Hercules did not doubt it, and even sympathized with his experience.
After returning to the location where the carriage was parked, Hercules also asked where Yang Ying had stayed. If it was not far away, he would send him back. If it was far away, he would send him to a nearby city first to prevent him from being alone. Attacked by wild beasts or bandits.
I have to say, putting aside his personal life, Hercules is definitely one of the rare good guys in Greek mythology. His character is definitely far ahead of his horse-daddy Zeus.
Yang Ying was grateful to Hercules for his kindness and righteousness, but he had a mission now, so how could he leave so easily.
After a slight silence, Yang Ying suddenly said, "This time the great hero is going to kill the Hydra that lives in the Lorna Swamp."
Hearing this, Hercules asked curiously, "Oh, you know this too?"
Yang Ying nodded.
"Yes, I have heard about your deeds before when I was traveling. Because of..."
Speaking of this, Yang Ying quickly stopped because he remembered that Hercules killed his wife and children because of his madness. In order to atone for his sins, he came to the hands of King Eurystheus and completed the ten tasks he ordered. Task.
Yes, there were ten tasks, but after Heracles completed the ten tasks, King Eurystheus rejected two of the tasks on the grounds that they relied on the help of others, and added two new ones. The task was finally completed and the twelve trials were completed.
Killing Hydra was one of the two tasks that was rejected. The reason was that Hercules relied on the power of Iolaus.
When Yang Ying looked at Hercules cautiously, she could clearly see a hint of sadness in the other person's eyes, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded slightly to indicate to Yang Ying to continue.
Since the person involved did not pursue the case, Yang Ying continued, “You have to complete the ten tasks assigned by King Eurystheus because of some not-so-good things.
You have completed the first task of killing the Nemoan Lion. Presumably the lion skin on your body is a trophy from that battle.
And this second task is to kill the monster Hydra that is entrenched in the Lorna Swamp. "
Hercules nodded slightly.
"Well, yes, but Yang, why are you telling me this."
Yang Ying quickly organized her words, licked her slightly dry lips and said, "Your Excellency Hercules, I have collected a lot of information related to Hydra during my travels. Maybe I will It will help you.”
Before Hercules could ask, Yang Ying continued to speak on her own, "Hydra was the offspring of Typhon, the father of all demons, and the basilisk Echidna. The Nemoa lion you killed was still a brother."
Heracles snorted coldly when he heard this, and said in a very disdainful tone, "They are all the same harmful monsters."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ying quickly echoed the compliment and said, "These monsters may not be worth mentioning to you, but they are an irresistible disaster to ordinary people like me. That is why heroes like you are needed to eliminate them for the people." Harmful."
Seeing a satisfied smile on Hercules' face, Yang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued, "Hydra is huge, has tenacious vitality and has terrifying poison. It can even command the swamp. of other monsters.”
"Oh, please tell me in detail."
As a powerful warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, Hercules naturally understands the importance of intelligence, so he also attaches certain importance to Yang Ying's words.
When Yang Ying saw that Hercules was interested in her words, she couldn't help but feel happy. At the same time, her mind began to quickly recall the information about Hydra that she had seen before.
After a moment, Yang Ying slowly said, "Hydra's vitality is extremely tenacious. If its nine heads cannot be destroyed together, they will be able to regenerate quickly no matter how many times they are chopped off.
Its venom is extremely terrifying, and there is no cure. Even the gods cannot tolerate it. If you are poisoned by it, there is only one way to die.
In addition, Hydra, the Hydra, was also seen ordering a giant crab in the swamp, which was also a terrifying monster. "
Yang Ying did not hide the information about Hydra, but the giant crab did exist, but he did not make it clear about the origin of the giant crab.
Because Yang Ying, who has read Greek mythology, clearly remembers that the giant crab was specially sent by Queen Hera to give Heracles strength.
But even if he knew about this, he didn't dare to say it. What should I do if the petty queen was watching from the sky and threw a crab down for him?
"Yes, very good, the information you collected is very useful." Hercules nodded approvingly towards Yang Ying, and then said to himself solemnly, "If this information is true, then this Hydra Hydra Rakko is much more troublesome than the Nemoan Lion."
Hearing what Hercules said, Yang Ying secretly thought that the opportunity had come, and quickly said, "Your Excellency Hercules, although I am just an ordinary person, I also have some ordinary people's wisdom and insights that should help you in your crusade against Jiutou." The serpent Hydra helps.”
Seeing a trace of emotion on Hercules' face, Yang Ying hurriedly said before he could speak, "Your Excellency Hercules, you have experienced many battles. You should know the first aid method of burning the wound with flame to stop bleeding."
Hercules nodded subconsciously upon hearing this, his face showing confusion at first, and then a look of surprise.
"Oh, you mean..."
"That's right."
Before Hercules could finish speaking, Yang Ying continued, "Use a flame to burn the wound to stop the bleeding. The principle of this method is to use the high temperature of the flame to scorch the flesh and blood at the wound. Although this method can It can achieve the purpose of quickly stopping bleeding, but it will also cause the skin and flesh at the wound to become necrotic and lose its ability to heal itself.
So when you're fighting a Hydra, you can chop off its head and burn its wounds with flames at the same time.
This should be able to prevent the regeneration of its head, and even if it cannot completely prevent its regeneration, it should be able to greatly slow down its regeneration speed. "
Hercules nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
"Well, that's a good idea."
Seeing that Hercules was satisfied with the answer he had copied, Yang Ying struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Besides, although the poison of Hydra is powerful, its teeth cannot penetrate your invulnerable body at all. The skin of the Nemoan lion is not a concern at all.
As for the giant crab sent by Hydra, this monster is no different to you than a domesticated animal. "
"Hahaha, well said, well said."
Hercules laughed for a while, and then said to Yang Ying, "Yang, you are very good. You are smart and can talk. You are really good."
When Yang Ying saw this, she quickly looked flattered.
"You are a great hero that I admire. It is my honor to be able to help you in your achievements, but..."
Having said this, Yang Yingying paused for a moment, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face at the right time.
Sensing Yang Ying's change, Hercules, who was delighted by his praise, waved his hand and said happily, "It's nothing, just say it, Yang."
"That's right, I have another request, which I hope Your Excellency Hercules can grant."
After saying this, Yang Ying's heart began to beat rapidly.
It was related to the success or failure of the trial mission, so he couldn't help but be nervous.
"Hahaha, no problem. You did me a big favor by providing me with information about Hydra, so as long as I can fulfill your request without violating my guidelines, I will not refuse."
Hearing what Hercules said, Yang Ying's face finally showed a hint of joy from the bottom of her heart.
Suppressing the joy in her heart, Yang Ying said with some excitement, "Your Excellency Hercules, my request is that I hope to go with you and witness with my own eyes your heroic act of killing Hydra."
Hercules looked at Yang Ying in surprise when he heard this.
"Oh, is this just what you're asking for?"
Hercules thought that Yang Ying would take this opportunity to ask for finance, rights, or a certain treasure from him, but what he didn't expect was that the other party just wanted to see him kill Hydra with his own hands, which was a bit surprising to him. anticipation.
"Yes, this is enough." Yang Ying said with certainty.
Seeing Yang Ying like this, Hercules laughed again.
"Hahaha, Yang from the East, you are really an interesting person. Well, I agree to your request. You will share with me the glory of killing Hydra."
While saying this, Hercules reached out and patted Yang Ying's shoulder gently.
In Yang Ying's grinning expression, Hercules turned to Iolaos behind him and said, "Give our companion a sword. Without a weapon, he is not a qualified warrior."
Iolaos responded and handed back the bronze sword that Yang Ying had taken away from him when Heracles shouted him unconscious. He also gave him two pieces of animal skins and some hemp ropes. .
Sensing Yang Ying's confused gaze, Iolaus pointed at the flip-flops on Yang Ying's feet.
"Although I don't know much about your distinctive clothing, I think your shoes are not suitable for fighting."
With the help of Iolaos, Yang Ying wrapped the animal skin around his feet with hemp rope and made a pair of simple temporary leather boots.
Yang Ying tried to take two steps with the leather boots, which felt a little uncomfortable, but they were strong enough and easy to move.
Pulling out the bronze dagger, Yang Ying waved it in the air a few times in a decent manner. Although it was not very organized, it still had some momentum.
Hercules on the side nodded slightly when he saw this and commented, "Although he lacks some training, his foundation is not bad. As long as he trains for a period of time and sees blood again, he will definitely become an excellent warrior."
Yang Ying, who was wielding his sword, couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face when he heard this.
He usually does a lot of exercise, and his physical fitness is among the best in the entire school, but in the eyes of Hercules, he still lacks exercise.
However, considering the terrifying power of Hercules's blow to break the tree just now, it is not bad to have such an evaluation.
Thinking like this, Yang Ying felt somewhat more balanced.
At this moment, Iolaos on the side reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Yang, don't be too frustrated. In fact, your physical fitness is pretty good among ordinary people. It's just that your uncle has always been strict in this regard."
Yang Ying calmly let go of Iolaos' hand. Although he did not discriminate against homosexuals, he always felt a little cold in his anus with such direct physical contact.
After coughing twice, Yang Yingying said gratefully, "Please give me more comfort. I can understand. The great hero's vision is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people. It is an honor for me to receive the evaluation and guidance of His Excellency Hercules."
In order to be able to hold Hercules' thigh firmly, Yang Ying did not show any shame, and would say a few words of praise and flattery whenever she had the chance.
And the effect of this is also very obvious. Not only Hercules, who was praised, but also Iolaos became much closer to Yang Ying, and even found a very well-made leather piece from the chariot. A handed it over.
After resting for a while, Hercules glanced at the sky, and then said, "Okay, it's almost time, we should go."
After saying that, he took the lead in getting on the chariot, and Yang Ying and Iolaos quickly followed after seeing this.
